This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to the analysis of updated ABS figures for the surrounding region combined with recently validated location data by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of The Gap (Brisbane - Qld) has an estimated population of 18,470 as of May 2026. This represents a 6.7% rise, or an additional 1,152 individuals, compared to the 17,318 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 18,459 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS release, alongside 89 newly verified addresses added after the Census. The suburb's density stands at 1,475 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical density across national areas monitored by AreaSearch.
While the suburb of The Gap (Brisbane - Qld) recorded a 6.7% increase, this sits within 2.6 percentage points of the 9.3% nationwide average, indicating solid growth characteristics. The main driver of this expansion was net overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 84.0% of the total population growth during recent times. AreaSearch utilizes projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For locations missing from this dataset, or for periods extending beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland Government published in 2023 based on 2021 records are substituted. Because the state-level data lacks details on age brackets, AreaSearch applies age-group weightings modeled on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 figures. Based on these modeled demographic changes, the suburb of The Gap (Brisbane - Qld) is projected to experience a minor decline in residents, dropping by 72 people by 2041. Conversely, certain cohorts are expected to expand, particularly residents aged 85 and over, which is projected to grow by 537 individuals. Detailed statistics are available in the dedicated age section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
154 new dwellings have been approved in The Gap (Brisbane - Qld) over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 33 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Statistical evaluations of building approvals by AreaSearch indicate that the locality averages approximately 30 residential building approvals per year, resulting in a total of 154 authorized homes over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 17 approvals have been logged to date. Given that there have been 5.3 new residents for each completed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, construction is failing to keep pace with demand, suggesting heightened competition and upward pressure on prices. Approved residential designs carry an average estimated building cost of $642,000, pointing to a developer focus on high-end, premium housing.
Additionally, non-residential building approvals reached $1.4 million in the current financial year, highlighting the suburb's primarily residential character. Recent approvals consist of 91.0% stand-alone houses and 9.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings, reinforcing the traditional low-density layout that appeals to purchasers seeking extra space. The ratio of 658 people per approved dwelling demonstrates a highly established residential market. Given that the local population is projected to remain stable or contract, housing demand pressures are expected to ease, potentially offering favorable conditions for prospective buyers.

9,563 residents of The Gap (Brisbane - Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 9,898. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 66.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,418, about 83% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Locals present a highly qualified profile with prominent representation in professional occupations, alongside an unemployment rate of just 3.4% based on aggregated local data. Jobholders numbered 9,563 as of March 2026, keeping the local unemployment rate 0.9% lower than the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 4.3%. Meanwhile, the local participation rate of 66.4% is slightly lower than the 70.4% recorded across Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates that 33.8% of employed residents worked from home, although these figures may reflect temporary pandemic restrictions. The major employment industries for local residents are health care & social assistance, professional, scientific & technical services, and education & training.
The concentration of professionals is especially high, standing at 1.7 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, manufacturing is less common, employing 3.4% of the local workforce compared to 6.4% across Greater Brisbane. The small difference between the local working population and resident workers suggests that this residential area offers relatively few local jobs. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch, which combines data from SALM and the ABS across larger statistical regions, indicates that during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, the labour force in The Gap shrank by 2.5% and job numbers fell by 3.6%, resulting in an upward shift of the unemployment rate by 1.1 percentage points. This trend stands in sharp contrast to what occurred in Greater Brisbane, where the workforce expanded by 3.4%, employment grew by 3.2%, and the unemployment rate increased only 0.1 percentage points. For a deeper understanding of anticipated job demand in The Gap, one may consult the national employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with the local employment structure to project future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though these gains vary widely across different industries. When these sectoral growth estimates are applied to the employment composition of The Gap, the outcome suggests that local employment will rise by 7.2% over five years and by 14.7% over ten years, with the caveat that this calculation relies on straightforward weighting and does not incorporate localized population forecasts.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 89 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (17,318 at the 2021 Census → 18,470 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
